Natural Wood Lattice Screen

Screen your view

Handsome natural fir lattice

It's nice to have your rain barrel, composter and barbecue grill easily accessible, yet not always so nice to look at them. Our new 3-panel wooden screen has extra-wide slats to shield the view and sturdy hinges for a custom fit. Made of weather-resistant fir with a natural stain, it can also be painted to match your home.

In a small condo garden, the A/C compressor was an eye-sore. The screen makes a nice enhancement. The pre-drilled holes for hinges are STILL on the wrong side, as noted in earlier reviews. We had to add screw eyes to the inside to run short wires to the compressor to keep the screen from blowing over on windy days. Would buy again.

Bottom LineYes, I would recommend this to a friend

We are using this screen to hide our air conditioning unit. It looks great and covers what needs to be covered. It did blow over on us once with blustery wind, but we decided to secure it together with a couple of pressure treated stripes of wood. That worked great. No complaints here.

First off, the positive: it does exactly what I wanted it to do, which is hide the ugly air conditioner unit on my back patio. I like the fact that it doesn't require you to mount/attach it to anything (some other similar pieces I saw make you attach it to the ground, which would not really work on my concrete patio). I've only had it for about a month, in the summertime, so can't really comment on its weather-resistance; it smelled like it was pre-treated with something, though, so I am hopeful.

However, as some other reviewers have pointed out, for some reason the pilot holes are drilled on the wrong side of the screens! When you put the hinges on using the pre-drilled holes, it leaves the back side of the screen facing outwards so if you look carefully when it's in place you can see the staples etc. used to construct it. It's not horrible (I didn't even notice while I was putting it together), but I don't know why they'd do it that way.

Use this in back yard around air conditioner (so that dog will not lift his leg on air conditioner!) - looks great! but could use support on the bottom so that it doesn't tip over in breeze.Would buy again, just have to rig up bottom supports.

This is the second time I purchased this item. The first Screen lasted 10-Years before the wood would not hold the screws. I will be trying to extend the 10-years by clear coating the wood which I did not do on the first Screen. Another products from Gardner's worth the money.
